Angelenos Lyrics - Tomlinson Michael

You know I hardly ever come here 

Cause it's a place I don't feel at home 

They say long ago she lost the dream 

When her keepers here let it go 

I heard many things about her 

Before I laid my eyes on her skin 

When I first beheld this withered angel 

I yearned for what she had been 

Chorus: 

Oh hey Los Angelenos 

I saw your lights from on the hill 

Spread out below a diamond blanket 

I saw your breast rising still 

I never knew you held this vision 

Pulsing alive and full of rhyme 

I couldn't see the hidden meaning 

I guess I was wrong about your dying 

Oh I was wrong about your dying 

Oh L.A. 

It's so easy to be swallowed 

In these streets that call out for rain 

Let a storm come on uproot us from here 

And plant us all once again 

Oh her spirits heard me singing 

She lead me up the hill in the dark 

She unblinded me where I could see 

That the angel still has heart 

Chorus 

They're like butterflies your healers 

And they fill your skies at night 

We can listen if we will 

Bring us all alive 

World arise and fly
